Gathering Student Info

​

An imprtant part of effective instruction is making sure that the student voice is heard, and that they have input in their learning. This is an example of how I garner student input to better my instruction.

Creating Mind Maps

​

Mind maps are visual representations of how a learner might orgaznize information. Mind maps may center on one single topic, or serveral topics that have various levels of connecion. The example given is a mind map generated by Mindomo. I would use this -- my personal example -- to help students set goals.

Creating & Editing Images

​

Images, by and large, enhance almost any sort of presentation. The power to create and edit images is a skill that is not only useful for teaching (i.e. enhancing lectures), but it is equally important to give students this skill. I've used visual essay to highlight elemements of photo compositon and image editing.

Infographics

​

An infographic is a chart, diagram or some sort of visual representation of information. Infographics are useful for simplifying large amounts of data, and/or complicated data. While seemingly complicated, infographics can be created using a mobile phone and Powerpoint.

ScreenCast

ScreenCast

​

A screen cast is an excellent way to walk learners through website, or presentation by caputuring exactly what is on the presenters screen. The example provided is a screencast of NCTE.
